Hope people never take this for granted. It is such an amazing advantage to our team and I seriously think it draws the recruits in droves.

One of my greatest Tiger Stadium memories.

I agree.

Noise was apparently startling Baton Rouge residents during Ole Miss '59.

It may have never gotten louder than games on national TV in the 80s. Even caused an earthquake.

Then again the Bring Back the Magic game and the Florida upset in the 90s were one-of-a-kind.

Personally I don't think it got any louder than Tennessee '00.

Although everybody remembers the Florida game in '07.

And last year vs. Ole Miss TS sure seemed like most intense atmosphere in the country.

So yeah,,, 1920's Huey P. Long teams were GOAT crowds.

“You know what? I wish I had about 10 snaps left in this body. I’d love to pull the 94 out and suit up for about 10 snaps because there’s no better atmosphere. I’ve played in a lot of NFL stadiums, I’ve played in some Super Bowls, but there’s no atmosphere that I’ve ever been a part of in my life like the one in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”

“I wanted to always go to a school that had a fan base that supported the team through thick and thin and that’s definitely LSU. There’s no place like Tiger Stadium. I swear it shakes. How could you not want to play for a school like this? Best place in the country to play football.”
- NFL Pro Bowler Patrick Peterson

"I absolutely love doing games in Baton Rouge. Night games in Tiger Stadium are a spectacle and the food choices all around are fantastic! One thing is certain: if I ever choose to feature a tailgating spread for Taste of the Town, LSU will be at the top of the list."
-- Todd Blackledge, ESPN analyst

“Greatest sporting event I have ever been to....It was a wall of sound beginning at 4:30 in the afternoon. It was a transformative experience. There have been a lot of great events, but I have never seen anything like it. It was an experience I can’t stop thinking about.”
-- Chad Millman, ESPN The Magazine Editor in Chief

“It’s like walking into a movie set. Your ears become sensitive to what you hear and the thousands of people around you are screaming at the top of their lungs. It’s mindboggling to see this as you walk through those doors and onto the field.”
-- DE Tyson Jackson

Maybe my single greatest experience in Tiger Stadium. I get chills thinking about that game. Fvcking awesome.

TFS4E- just saw your post. Figured I wasn't the only one who felt this way.

I've seen many of these before but love reading them again. Interestingly there are several that I've not seen and they are great! I really got a chuckle out if the writer talking about the fans after the '79 USC game- ..."when they win the coin toss there are tears is ecstasy!"

Those were the good ole days??? What are you talking about, almost every quote was from the past decade. Still revered as the toughest, loudest place to play today.
